RE: HD streams convert automatically after download...
Hi, Thanks for the advice, unfortunately things have become worse. I uninstalled the version I had and used the latest Windows installer. I used the command exactly as you said and now I cannot get a complete download but get screens full of: Warning: Stream does not start with requested FLV frame, ignoring data. and Warning: Stream does not start with requested frame, ignoring data. I also noticed I was getting: Error: RTMO_HashSWF: couldn't contact swfurl http://www.bbc.co.uk/emp/10player.swf?revision=18269_21576 (HTTP error 301) I noticed someones elses post regarding this error and to update the get_iplayer.pl with a new version (instructions found at https://github.com/dinkypumpkin/get_iplayer/wiki/instructions).

Clean install, latest script, still cannot download HD
Hi. I've looked at the messages from people over the last couple of months about problems with downloading HD, and I've now hit the same problem on my Windows 7 64-bit PC with the command line: get_iplayer.cmd --modes=flashhd --pid=b010tb7q --get --force (That's Doctor Who 6.1, BTW.) I've removed the C:\Program Files (x86)\get_iplayer folder and done a reinstall from the Windows installer, then copied the latest get_iplayer.pl from the repository at infradead.org. The download starts, but then I get a long list of: WARNING: Stream does not start with requested frame, ignoring data... and: WARNING: Stream does not start with requested FLV frame, ignoring data...

On Mon, 16 May 2011 00:38:30 +0200, you wrote: In the UK highest quality is/was flashaudio which is mp3 - this used to be available for all programmes, but now only a few radio programmes come as flashaudio ... Now flashaac will give the best quality mp4 files - thanks to shevek co's code. I use flashaacstd,flashacclow - there is probably flashacchigh - someone can confirm this I disagree. Flashaudio IIRC is just MP3, which is transcoded from the MP3 original audio by the sounds of it, even though I've been told that both were encoded direct from the master source. The Beeb must've used an awfully inefficient codec to get such poor results at 128kbps. I did a comparative audio test with speech a while back (which I posted to the list) - the MP3s sound noticeably worse than the AAC versions. I've not intentionally downloaded MP3 versions of any shows since I first heard the problems (manifested as low-end problems and 'warbling' in speech and music in the MP3 versions). Here's what I posted (on the 23rd of Feb, 2011). Listening to the audio back-to-back will show just how inferior the MP3 versions are to the AACs... To show you what I mean about the MP3 vs AAC quality difference, here's a quick quality comparison (randomly chose an episode of The Archers, from Radio 4 the other day). The first time is the MP3 encode, the second is the AAC encode (served by default through the Flash player): http://bit.ly/bbciprtest1al (~3.8MB) Even on average speakers you should be able to hear a difference - the MP3 is rumblier, warbly and speech is distinctly less clear with noticeable distortion under the main frequency of the speaker's voice. If you use headphones or good monitors you should be able to clearly hear the inferior quality of the MP3 version. Comparing the two clips spectrally also shows a visible difference, there's less 'cohesion' in the MP3 clip, what appears to be double-encoded noise and the frequency ranges containing the speech energy are less distinct. Neither speech nor musical content comes off well in the MP3 versions - either the iPlayer's using an *AWFUL* MP3 codec (because both the AAC and MP3 files are 128kbps) or the MP3 version is being transcoded from the original AAC source, which would explain a lot. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

Thanks for the quick response, Cleaned out the folder and started the to download. It gets to about 7%, drops the feed.

Interestingly, if I go to the download folder whilst all this is going on and delete the partially downloaded file, get_iplayer will start to download again. Looks like classic missing-rtmpdump-or-wrong-swfvfy-url problem. I had it on an older version of get_iplayer, the resulting videos had missing frames. Have you updated to latest rtmpdump? Also I wonder if perhaps you're using the old swfvfy URL, or not specifying one (which will make it default to the now-obsolete flash player .swf URL)...
